Brad's pics are much more clear, but here is a quick one I just snapped. The crane looks pretty tall for just a parking garage.

Re: Blackstone Union (41st and Harney)
I wonder if they are going to remove that power line right in front of the building. I don't see it in the rendering.
One other thing I noticed is that the juliette balconies look even smaller than pictured in the rendering., especially the ones on the end of the building.

You can see the ferris wheel in the background of the video:

Re: 2016 CWS
It did say that the ferris wheel was going to be around 100' high. Nothing close to the London Eye which stands 443'. I think the average ferris wheel inside a Scheel's store is around 45' - 50', so this should be around twice as big. Of course, being outside, it may not look like it.

A portable pool that shoots water backward toward riders, who can choose to lie on their stomach and arms on a boogie board or stand on a surfboard. Surf Omaha will cost $30 for a 55-minute session shared with 11 other riders, Farrell said.
